Skills

Skills describe your Mercenaries abilities - how well they can perform certain actions like aiming, how fast are their reactions, how many Hit Points they have etc. Skills are divided into two groups Body and Weapon with the latter covering all weapon types used in the game. Upon gaining new level, mercenary is granted 5 points to distribute between skills: +2 for Body and +3 for Weapon skills.

	Endurance	Determines how much health a mercenary has and increases resistance against negative effects.
	Strength	Allows to use heavier weapons, reduces the effect of recoil and gives you more health. Required to wear heavy armor.
	Reflexes	Increases Action Points as well as the chance to interrupt enemy. Slightly influences how fast you can ready a weapon.
	Dexterity	Increases AP and Stealth, slightly influences how fast you can reload weapon.
	Perception	Determines how soon you wil spot enemies and slightly increases your chance of hitting.
	Handguns	Increases chance of hitting with revolvers and pistols.
	Submachine guns	Increases chance of hitting with SMGs.
	Shotguns	Increases chance of hitting with shotguns.
	Rifles	Increases chance of hitting with rifles.
	Assault Rifles	Increases chance of hitting with assault rifles.

Action Points decide How far you can move. Preliminary base formula to calculate Action points is:

14 + (Dexterity + Reflex) / 17

Commandos have +3 AP bonus, Scouts have +2 AP bonus, Soldiers have +1 AP bonus, Gunners and Snipers have no bonus at all.
